One Pink Line

During her senior year of college, Sydney spends a drunken night with some friends, but ends up cheating on longtime, long-distance boyfriend Ethan and getting pregnant. Silver's novel traces Sydney and Ethan's relationship via flashbacks and tells the story of how Sydney's daughter, Grace, learns that the man who helped raise her is not her biological father. Unfortunately, the book's split narrative structure fails to save this conventional story that wants for significant dramatic tension. The characters lack depth, and the twist at the end of the book will come as no surprise.
